BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

Using the Viewfinder for Recording

The illustrations below show what you see when you look through the viewfinder to compose an image for recording.

Focus Frame

Focus Range

Frame

Short distance to subject

Note that the focus range frame is valid for subjects that are about three meters (9.8´) away. A different focus range is used for subjects that are closer or farther away. Because of this, you should change to the Manual Focus Mode (MF) or Macro Mode () whenever the distance between the camera and the subject is 30cm (11.8˝) or less (pages 64, 65).

•The monitor screen turns on automatically whenever the camera is in the Manual Focus Mode or Macro Mode. Use the monitor screen to compose images in the Manual Fo- cus Mode or Macro Mode.

•You can use the Diopter Dial to adjust the image in viewfinder screen to your eyesight.
